How our food truck hire works in Wilmington
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. At wedding receptions and client hospitality, we can serve burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Wilmington, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for Wilmington
How far is Wilmington from central London?
It is about 48 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Wilmington?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Food truck hire or something else?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- A plan agreed before the day
- Menus chosen with you
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
